After writing hundreds of short news and commentary pieces over the years for newsprint and online publication and having a few people ask whether I would ever collect them into one book I decided to collect them into several books, one book at a time, 20 articles at a time. I'm currently on book 2 and have about 10 books planned. Not everything I've ever written is bookworthy, just the early stuff I wrote in my Fun&Freedom style which I've since abandoned to write more in journalistic AP style.

I've had the inspiration to write ever since I was old enough to pick up a crayon and express myself on a living room wall, so I guess I really can't explain where my inspiration comes from.

I write 2 ongoing freelance columns for Examiner.com:
Libertarian News Examiner
Dallas Libertarian Examiner
Also still working on self-promoting my current books. And I have another major book in the can but not sure what to do with it yet.

Read constantly but don't read for content. Read writers you admire but concentrate for style, form, methodology, turn of phrase, development of ideas and thoughts. Concentrate on HOW that author writes. I've read one certain author for years even though I mostly hate his subject matter but I absolutely love how he presents it. So read, read, read, and write, write, write.

It's fun. I can collect my thoughts and respond in writing much better than I can respond in impromptu situations in real lives. It's fun.

Since I write short journalistic articles (and then collect them into book form) I never get writer's block because I'm constantly scanning news and opinion columns online and responding to them is nearly always where my article ideas begin.
